Rarely do you ever hear of him being compared to a guy like Rodgers (a guy who CAN RUN and PASS). That is who he is in the same league with. Look at his pure passing numbers and they are off the charts and compare to guys like Manning, Rodgers, and Brady. Not Vick, Newton, and Kap.

One day I hope the media realizes this and starts comparing him to every QB not just the guys who share his skin color.

Screw the talking heads they will be eating crow when next years rankings come out and they have to rank this guy up with the best and above all of the other rookies and second year guys they ranked ahead of him this year.

"Shock and Awe" will cometh week one when he gets re-unleashed on the league and we get to move on from the knee talk and back to how great he is in the NFL.

Or...because he ran more than any rookie QB in the history of the game. They need to back off RG running, it's that simple. My gut says they've figured it out.
